Prime Minister Narendra Modi was on Thursday conferred with United Arab Emirates’s highest civilian decoration, the Order of Zayed, awarded to those who contribute to international leadership in strengthening relations with the country.
“We have historical and comprehensive strategic ties with India, reinforced by the pivotal role of my dear friend, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who gave these relations a big boost. In appreciation of his efforts, the UAE President grants him the Zayed Medal,” Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, announced on Twitter.
“As an International statesman, he (PM Modi) has given a new direction to this (ties with the UAE) relation and today India’s relations with whole Islamic world is at its best,” a statement said.
Praising Modi , the statement added: “In India, he has given a government which is for all and includes everyone in such a diverse country having people with different religion, different language and different culture.”
Just a few days back, the UAE had deported Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist Nisar Tantray accused of being a key conspirator in the 2017 attack on the Pulwama Lethpora CRPF camp.
Tantray’s deportation was seen as another example of deepening security cooperation with West Asia countries over the last few years, particularly Saudi Arabia and UAE.
